    Removed my drivers seat as it had slight wobble. The adjustable runner has no rollers in it.

    Are these rollers available or do I need a complete new adjustable runner. If so any suggestion as to where I can get one in the UK?

    The seat rails should have steel balls in there that separate the two runners from one another. These balls can be replaced and are available from a bearing supply house. When I restored my rails I actually 'blueprinted' them by fitting different to OEM (I can't remember larger or smaller) balls in order to optimize the performance of the rails. Crazy I know but my seats slide back and forth smooth like butter :)

    I believe they are 1/4" from some notes I had.
